    Dirty fabric/cloth sections on white seats

    Anyone that has white seats definitely has this issue, I just don't think they care, out of sight out of mind I guess. That said, definitely a problematic cost cutting move by Tesla. They easily could have thrown the vegan leather on those sections and this would not be a problem.

    Model Y Performance Track Mode has arrived as a Holiday Software Update: As seen on twitter!!!!!

    I'm sure it's just a mistake, but I found it interesting that the video claims that acceleration improved with track mode on.

    Model Y Performance - Track Mode

    LOL, times have changed my friend. I've had my X3M and MYP on the track dozens of times without issue.

    How far will current selling prices fall after Jan. 1 ?

    No, it has been classified as an SUV so it is well within the params.

    Model Y Performance - Track Mode

    Also can confirm from a friend that works for Tesla. They said by eoy at latest.

    Used Model Y prices starting to normalize - peak appears to have been July

    For the hell of it, I submitted my 2022 MYP with 800 miles on it to Carvana and Vroom and received offers of 53 and 51k respectively. About a 20-25k delta from when I bought the car back in June.

    The number of used Tesla 3/Y available is staggering

    One thing I think people are missing is that starting in 2023, the $4000 credit will be in play for used EVs. It would not shock me one bit if we see a huge surge in used demand once the calendar flips.

    Pitting / Scratches under Dual Motor Emblem

    So the attached is the space where the emblem used to be. If you zoom in you can see the fine white lines / specks that are the scratches.

    Pitting / Scratches under Dual Motor Emblem

    Hello - so I pulled off my stock dual motor badge the other day to swap it for a black badge and noticed that there were some fairly deep scratches/gouges underneath around the outline of some of the letters in the emblem. Does anyone know if this is normal? Freaking out that I may have done...

    The number of used Tesla 3/Y available is staggering

    My only rebuttal to this is that ICE cars still seem to be thriving. 5-10k over sticker is not at all uncommon.

    New "wraparound" dash door panels for the US Model Y's - retrofit to existing cars?

    Has anyone tried booking a service appointment for this? I asked through the chat a few weeks ago and they said that a mobile tech could do the swap (for a price of course).

    Model Y Performance vs. GV60...Drag!

    Well, Tesla kind of allowed the competition to catch up in a way. I mean truthfully, is the Model Y that you can by today that much better than the one you could have bought two years ago? Not really. And here we were promised track mode, magical OTA updates that would unlock new features...

    Model Y Performance vs. GV60...Drag!

    It was extremely quiet, almost no road noise at all, pretty incredible in that aspect. Suspension to me was way too floaty for a "performance" vehicle. It was definitely tuned for comfort over sport. I imagine that these won't be doing very well on the track or skidpad.

    Model Y Performance vs. GV60...Drag!

    I test drove the top trim of the GV60 yesterday. Fit and finish is excellent. Really a well packaged car. HOWEVER.... it was nowhere near as fast as my MYP (and if you know me, I'm no Tesla fanboy). Even with the boost button, it was still noticeably slower (but not slow by any means)...

    Model Y Performance vs. GV60...Drag!

    Yeah that part of it was planned I'm sure. The video is a glorified Genesis commercial.

    Model Y Performance vs. GV60...Drag!

    Watch the start of the race closely, the Genesis gets a fairly significant head start.

    Bottom dropping out of used market?

    Some people also simply want the fastest, best performing model. The rest can have the SR/LR :)

    Bottom dropping out of used market?

    That's an insane offer, take it right now.... More than they offered me for my brand new MYP, lol.

    Bottom dropping out of used market?

    Carmax just offered me 55k for my MYP with 900 miles on it that I bought back in June. That's literally a 20k drop in value in the last 30-60 days (and I'm not trying to flip at all). I get the ebbs and flows of the market, but this seems pretty extreme. I can't fathom people paying the...

    Cleaning the cloth portion of our white seats?

    For those that have white seats, you probably know that there are some white "cloth" portions on the inner sides of the front and rear. These portions seem to pick up a huge amount of dirt (especially in the rear). I've tried using standard upholstery cleaner and the like, but nothing seems to...

    Regrets [Anyone regret trading in their ICE for their Tesla?]

    I'll be trading my MYP in the first chance I get... I've always had a spot in my garage reserved for a special performance car (BMW M3cs, Giulia Quad, etc.) that supplemented my wife's MY SR and our "beater" Honda Fit. I naively thought that the MYP could fill the void that the M3 and Giulias...

    Regrets [Anyone regret trading in their ICE for their Tesla?]

    The people saying "never look at a car as an investment" are the same ones that were using the "high resale value" trope as major advantage over competitors, lol. There is always a middle ground and we have hit the other side of the hill.

    Bottom dropping out of used market?

    Crazy thing is that this seems to be hitting Tesla / the EV market harder than others. My buddy just sold his 4Runner with 20k miles on it for almost what he paid for it two years ago.

    Rolling Resale Value Thread

    True... my intent isn't as a flipper though, but more so to track some of the more wild fluctuations and see if we can draw any correlative data. Case and point, the situation we are in now with current values versus those from just one month ago.

    Regrets [Anyone regret trading in their ICE for their Tesla?]

    I bought mine almost fully loaded out the door for 72k. So it's variable, but yes in the same ballpark for sure. X3M has had numerous direct comparisons with the MYP by media outlets, so lets not pretend its a Ferrari. I'm actually paying more per month on the MYP...

    Rolling Resale Value Thread

    With the precipitous drop in resale values lately, I figured having a thread tracking them would be beneficial. For some context, my friend sold his MYP with 18k miles to Carmax in August for 72k Offer Date: 9/14 Company: Carmax Region: North East US Year/Color/Model: 2022 Red MYP Mileage: 700...

    Regrets [Anyone regret trading in their ICE for their Tesla?]

    Traded in my X3M Competition and regret it immensely. Was hoping track mode or some other nice over the air goodies would materialize, but the car is largely the same as it was on release. I figured I could always go back due to the great resale value, but now I'm stuck since values have...

    Selling on Vroom, Carvana or Driveway

    Carvana just offered me 53k on my brand new MYP, so you must have won the lottery :)

    Carvana just offered me 53k on my brand new MYP. Comical at this point.

    2022 Red MYP w/ 500 miles and full front PPF

    Putting out a feeler for my 22 MYP, as we are moving cross country for my job. Only 900 miles on the odometer and includes full front PPF along with rockers and a 5 year ceramic coating. 75k, prefer to sell locally in the tristate area (PA, NJ, DE)

    Tesla Model Y Performance Real Horsepower and Torque

    As a corollary to this, how much power do we still think can be "unlocked" in the MYP? I find it hard to believe that Tesla would tap out the 2170, but do we have another 10%, 20? I know the Polestar forums somehow found that the P2 was only running at like 65% of its potential.

    EV6 GT gets track mode out of the box and yet the Y still doesn't....

    LOL, if you are buying a car that literally has Performance in the name, then I think you might be concerned about performance. If you want to chat about the SR or LR, then that's a different story.

    Another pen on white seat post - help!

    Curious how to the sunscreen works for you. I've seen a few people mention that now.

    EV6 GT gets track mode out of the box and yet the Y still doesn't....

    Why should we as consumers care about sales numbers though? I don't work for Tesla so that's meaningless to me... I just want the best car possible and it seems like the EV6 has surpassed the MYP, not rocket science here. Too many people in here are trying to obfuscate the main subject with...

    Yes, by definition it is a CUV

    EV6 GT gets track mode out of the box and yet the Y still doesn't....

    Lol, stop splitting hairs. They are nearly identical form factor and weight. Certainly not a car by any means. I’ve driven one and it’s cavernous.

    EV6 GT gets track mode out of the box and yet the Y still doesn't....

    Weird statement. Go buy a base Bolt or Leaf then if that's your argument.

    EV6 GT gets track mode out of the box and yet the Y still doesn't....

    Did you read the article? Faster 0-60, significantly higher max speed (165 iirc), dynamic suspension, track mode. Anything else you need?

    EV6 GT gets track mode out of the box and yet the Y still doesn't....

    I'm seriously contemplating trading in my MYP for one of these. It is probably the first "performance" EV that soundly and objectively beats the MYP in every performance metric. It's a shame that Tesla has pretty much abandoned any and all innovation when it comes to performance in the MY...

    Another Model Y or go with a Model 3?

    Just to wrap this one up, I ended up sticking with the MYP. I just couldn’t sell myself on not taking it since it was literally 6k cheaper than it would be today. Very happy with the decision, but still hoping for track mode at some point. May also add a small, cheap manual trans car to the...

    Model Y P vs Rivian R1S

    Also keep in mind that Rivian and Lucid are in the same position now that Tesla was in about a decade ago. The big difference is, the competition is leagues better than it was back then. I'd say there is a 90% chance that one or both get bought or go under altogether at some point, so you...

    Model Y - Gigafactory Texas Production

    It wouldn't shock me one bit if we never see 4680 in the current gen LR or P. As others have said, the amount of cells needed is ridiculously staggering and production on THOSE alone will take a few years.

    Model Y changes over time

    Is there any way that we can put the price increases inline as well? I think that would provide some useful data points as well :)

    First Impressions: Model Y Performance

    Obviously it is better than nothing, but I'd be very cautious about getting STEK. It has been known to lift after about a year or two. 3M and XPEL are rock solid and have been around forever.

    Model Y LR built in Giga Austin!!

    Someone trying to justify the poor build quality at Austin with a pic of a VW. My guess it will take about a year or two for Austin to get up to Fremont quality (a low bar, but still a bar nonetheless). Almost all new factories have teething issues like we are seeing here.

    Model Y LR built in Giga Austin!!

    Someone posted close up pics of their black Austin Y on fb and the paint was horrendous. Swirls, scratches, and chips right off the truck. I think they were filing a complaint. As for the price - we will never, ever see a 60k MYP again or anywhere close. I will bet my house, car and every...
